[Q] Phone bricked after LG update. Tried Cyanogen, still bricked

Hey, so, my LG update never finished, and I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
But I do not have XP, and the KDZ program doesn't work on Windows7 (I have both 64 and 32 bit)
So I googled around a bit, managed to get a recovery thing loaded on the phone (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4)
Then, I tried installing Cyanogen, which I've heard good things about.
I followed this guide perfectly: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_G2x:_Recovery_and_CyanogenMod
The only thing that didn't match the guide was the result of rebooting the device from the recovery menu.
The phone still shows the:
S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
screen. =\

once you're on that software update screen, you have to try everything known to man to finish the update. no matter what rom or recovery you flash, it won't get past that screen until you get the update flashed correctly.

Thanks for linking me to the page I said I already tried, and explained why it wouldn't work.

it does work on win7,for some. maybe doing a clean install of your os might help. make a backup to dvd or external hard drive first. that way you can just restore after you update. or get a hold of someone with an xp pc. or call lg.

There has to be another way. I hate re-installing OSes. and LG is pretty useless when it comes to fixing things.
I did try installing "XP Mode" but the update failed to install.... and apparently there isn't a version of Virtual PC that can run the XP Mode Hard Disk without having been installed via windows update. =\

if there was "another way" someone would have posted it.
if you absolutely intend on fixing it yourself, you need to try everything possible. if you're looking for an easy way out, not gonna happen. have you tried it on win7? it's worked for some people.

Yeah. I've tried my balls off =(

I've discovered that the KDZ program will unfreeze if I unplug the phone from USB while it's updating. (I waited a few hours to make sure this would be safe).
I'm using Windows XP Professional 64bit.
I get this:
[R&D Test Tools Log File]
02:12:23 : Launching SW update
02:12:23 : Unpacking KDZ
02:12:24 : KDZ file extraced
02:12:25 : Files were extracted.
02:12:25 : LGMobileDL Load.
02:12:25 : Port = -1
02:12:25 : Connecting to phone
02:12:25 : PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
02:12:27 : ===FINISHED===
I have to reboot the phone before the KDZ program will do anything other than the above log.
But then KDZ freezes again. and.. the process repeats. So... It seems that there is some connection issue between KDZ, and the Phone in my version of windows.
EDIT:
something else I noticed:
When I plug me phone into the comupeter: it shows
LGE CDMA Composite USB Device : Ready to use
Unidentified Device : ( ) Installing driver software
Unidentified Device : ( ) Installing driver software
could this be part of the problem?
I tried installing the drivers linked to from the thread that claims to fix this issue, but it said that I had newer ones.
That I had version 3.0.2 and that was never than 3.2 =\
EDIT2:
In device manager, the unknown device is this: USB\VID_1004&PID_6000_DIAGInterface
EDIT3:
Somehow one of the unidentified devices identified itsself.
LGE CDMA USB Serial Port (COM3) : Ready to use

I would try XP 32-bit if you can. Crazythunder is right. At this point, you need to either get the KDZ flasher to work, or send your phone to LG.

This was my hangup at one point also. In order to have your phone recognized again download the latest LG g2x drivers from LG, uninstall current drivers, reboot PC, install new drivers and then try update tool again.

I tried with two Stock Roms...
Please help me in this....

Basically on a windows machine you download kdz updater and uncompress it as it is a zip file.
Download from here.
This is what I did on an xp laptop.
I had to down load the drivers from the official lg site. when here you enter the code that is on the box the phone came in or under the battery.
Chose the your county and laguage from the drop down box at the top right of the dialogue box. Then from the middle you can choose the drivers. For some reason I had to find the files and click on them to install the driver.
Ok once you decompress kdz updater there are three seperate files to work with. 1. windows enabler. 2. msxml.msi 3.KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
You will also need to download the right file to restore with,You can find it with google.
Please check here the The_ERROR thread wich explains it very well:
[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list.
Install msxml now.
Now you have to boot the phone into rescue mode. On Lg Optimus One turn phone off even if it means taking out the battery.
Press power - volume up - back (this button is next to the home button).
Connect to usb now.Computer found new hardware and installed four drivers.
Then open device manager. Left click my computer - properties - device manager. You need to disable the lg modem driver. Left click on it and disable.
Now launch kdz updater. There will be a drop box on left set to 3gspt or similiar. on the right drop box set to diag. The long box just above the info box with a file at the side lets you browse to find restore file. e.g. V10a.00.kdz.
Double click the button below and let it do it's thing. Took 15min. My phone shut down and came up with an error at the last minute. Anyway I rebooted and all was good.
Everything was the way I left it. Just had to re-root.
My only real problem was getting the kdz installer to see the phone.
After installing the drivers restart pc. If it finishes quickly and just before saying finished it says phone not found try removing all phone related drivers including nokia pc suite and the lg suite and remove and reinstall the drivers.
LITTLE ADVICE :You should use some search and keep your eyes open
Two threads related to this are there on the first page itself.

i need help stuck on emergency mode and computer wont recognize phone it did a at the beginning but when connecting I got partition error table on LGMDP, also got an error on KDZ saying someting with error code 1002 ... please help don't wanna take out the battery cause i'm afraid i would have officially bricked it as in it wouldn't start back up! please willing to try anything at the moment!

Just follow the steps which I mentioned above and everything will be alright.

No, i suggest you do not use kdz updater, it had high chances of bricking your phone.

It once bricked my phone too when I removed battery in emergency mode. But after that I used it many times and it worked flawlessly.
You can definitely use kdz, when you know what are you doing.

same problem here can someone help me with lg-D605

No connection to network Help please!

I just picked up a used LG O3D P925 that has no connection to any network (well wifi works). When I tried to update using the LG mobile update tool. I had a no success detecting automatically so I clicked recovery and manually entered the IMEI and S/N. Soon I got a failure error. Prior to this I read a thread about OTA firmware updates but I have no button for OTA update.
I tried rooting using megatron (windows version) and installed the LG drivers but windows keeps detecting new hardware and wants me to install drivers. When I click run it just says "daemon started" and I wait for a couple of minutes and .... nothing. When I check the apns either none are listed or I get a message about "reorganizing internal processes. please try again later " ...
I contacted someone who had their phone replaced by carrier for same issue. Possibly the carrier has blocked the phone from network? ...O I hope not
.... Help !?

is it a stock rom goto play store dl get ril what does it say. sounds like bad based band
Post-:
Rom:
Baseband:
RIL:

GetRIL says "unknown RIL found" (gives me an md5sum)
for Baseband it says XMM6360
then there are 3 options to DL but since I don't have root I am unable to DL these updates ... says " no permission".
here is the info from about:
LG- P925g
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernal Version 2.6.35.7
Build number FRG83G
Software Version LGP925g-V10c-JUL-20-2011

ok I have succeeded getting root using Unlock Root. Now when I open getRIL and select a RIL to DL the "ok" button is "greyed out" or not available, just the cancel button. So after I cancel and select another RIL to DL & install I get the superuser permisson granted message followed by a message that says "The system partition needs to be writable.... and back to the greyed out ok and cancel choice.

I seem to get hung up on the step where you check the device manager for current active "COM" ports. When I connect the USB (holding vol up + power) I get OMAP4430 appearing for a second under ports and I get the "windows has detected new hardware" flashing on and of simultaneously. The phone doesn't seem to want to boot into download mode and it doesn't vibrate after 3 seconds.

hope it helps

I have managed to make things worse ... :crying:
Now my phone is stuck on the AT&T boot screen. The only way I can power off is to remove the battery.Yes I tried flashing the v20P kdz after I thought I could do much worse.
I no longer have a problem getting my computer to recognize the drivers. I'm not sure if I flashed the v20C kdz without a problem or not. I thought I was able to root and things were ok except that I still had no network connectivity. I don't recall exactly what I tried next but I think I lost root somehow and some of the installed apps began misbehaving. I also noticed that superuser was not installed. I tried to root again but couldn't. I treid to flash a kdz again but again not very successfully. I also tried repairing the IMEI using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330
I flashed the CP ? but didn't manage to restore the imei.
Now I when I power on I get the AT&T animation ... I tried to flash back to the 20C kdz without and luck. Now I have no idea where to go from here and would be grateful for some input.

try updating again but let the process fully complete http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490

If you were stuck on the art boot screen after flashing v20p you should have don't a hard reset and wiped all data. I had the same issue when going from v10k to v20p. As far as the no signal goes I'm not sure but it could be a bad radio or it could have been stolen and deactivated by AT&t

[Q] URGENT HELP *** Upgrading to V21Y Baseband ***

No Luck.
Used all the suggested methods. Using Windows 7 and tried like a million times.
1. Restored to V21E stock Rom.
2. Downloaded the B2CApp .. The software update tool doesnt go beyond Analysis. Says Problem Connecting Phone and restarts till it allows the exit button.
3. Used the method where I enter the IMEI number, here the tool goes beyond the download phases and crashes at the update phase.
4. Tried using the Offline method but the tool doesnt go beyond the connection phase in this too.
5. Tried using direct update method on the UpTestEx tool either by CDMA or 3G but the tool crashes at extracting KDZ.
Current Stage :
1. MSXML installed
2. B2CApp Tool Installed.
3. All Drivers Installed.
Please guide me towards successfully updating the V21Y baseband with 2.3.4

D801 Stuck on LG Boot Logo

Unable to find a solution to my problem. Searched and read many threads on the subject and think I've about tried everything with no luck.
Have a T-Mobile D801 phone. Took the OTA update and successfully upgraded to kitkat. Did not like kitkat so I downgraded back to 4.2.2 using the LG Mobile tool and the D801110C.kdz file. This downgrade was successful and I was able to root also with success.
So I have a stock rooted 4.2.2 phone with stock recovery.
Used the phone several weeks before playing with the build.prop file. After a modification, restarted the phone and the phone now will not boot past the LG splash screen.
The phone will boot to stock recovery as well as fully boot to download mode.
Installed newest LG mobile tools as well as the drivers, and reinstalled several times.
I have tried using the standard LG mobile tools to revert to stock. When using this method, the program identifies the phone correctly as a D801 but does not list a software version and tells me that there is no upgrade available. When click on upgrade recovery, it tells me that there is nothing to fix. So, I tried clicking on upgrade recovery without phone attached and enter the imei number and connect the phone. The software downloads the update successfully but when it attempts to install, stops at 2-3% and tells me to connect the phone. Restart the phone in download mode, reconnect and attempt again with same failure. Have tried this with swapping the downloaded file with110C, 110G, and kitkat KDZ files and all fail equally at 2-3%.
Have changed and tried com ports 41, 7, and 4 as well as disable LG modem in device manager and all fail.
Have tried this method on a windows 8 64 machine, windows 7 64 machine, and windows xp 32 machine and all still yield equal results. Tried several different USB cables and ports.
Have attempted using the KDZ with the L&D method using the 110C/D and kitkat files and the 110C/D fail at 49% and the kitkat will not even start, just errors right away. Tried this method with the different computers as well as cables and com ports.
I have also tried using the LG flash tool with the D801 TOT file and dll. Will not start and gives me error that the model numbers do not match even though it says it is a D801 at the top of the program.
At a loss here for what to try next. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

FIXED
Fixed the problem. Couldn't get any of the above methods to work. Downloaded the LG Firmware Extractor and extracted the .DLL from the TOT file and used that with LGFlashTool. That worked perfectly. Up and running again.
